Luke 24:6

"Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?"

Key Reflection

The disciples' terror and prostration before the ground signify their deep distress and confusion after Jesus’ crucifixion. Their question highlights their misunderstanding of his resurrection, reflecting a failure to grasp the divine plan even in its most miraculous manifestations.
